It has been awhile since I wrote a post for this site. Just breathe ....

I am currently working in the Norman Wells area as many will know from my posts on my personal page. It is truly magnificent up here. Life is just less hectic .... could be because of the cold or maybe it is just less demanding in the material way. It is more about survival.

However it is physically demanding to stay warm, hydrated, and remember to breathe through the nose rather then the mouth. At -40 that first breath feels like the cold is burning your airway. There is a condition called reactive airway and one of the triggers can be cold air. As soon as that cold air hits the area of your gag or cough reflex you start to cough. Your upper airway will feel tight and produce phylm. When coming back into a warm dry area the person will cough at times until they feel they will vomit.

This is often mistaken for a cold or sore throat or upper respiratory infection. It is none of these as it is more of an allergic reaction to cold. This will need to be treated by your family doctor with an inhaled steroid.

Well the baking has begun. I enjoy baking everyone's favourite cookies to put in the Christmas parcels. Last year I was done by now because I started by business training on the 10 Dec and there was no time after that. Tried to make healthy versions of the family recipes and so far so good. In the oven are peppermint cookies made with coconut oil and cane sugar instead of shortening and regular sugar. The taste test was delicious!

I am reading E2 (E-Squared) by Pam Grout who offers this take on energy. She talks about how our bodies interact with our thoughts and our food, and how it affects our ability to gain or lose weight.

We interact with energy all the time and when we bestow positive energy through gratitude for our meal the meal then provides the positive energy to our body and cells.

Since our thoughts create our reality, our thoughts about the food we eat also play a role in creating that reality. Changing the way we perceive ourselves, and what we eat will change the way food affects our body. Food for thought ... better then diet!
